the art of storytelling – in any medium

Blast From the Past

I thought it might be amusing to show some artwork that hasn’t seen the light of day in over a decade.

I drew this in 1999–because clearly, once my Magnum Opus was published, I would draw my own cover! Right? Right?!

The colors have faded a lot in the past 12 years (egad), but you get the idea. Bad anime rip-off style, no sense of anatomy, or of color theory, the ways in which this is badly done sort of boggle the mind.

It’s good to hang on to this kind of thing, though; it’s encouraging to look back and see, yes, in spite of what you may believe, you have improved.
